Freddy vs Jason? Fuggedabout it! The real question facing hard-core gorehounds this weekend is Jensens Ackles vs Jared Padalecki. You heard right my friends. After all, it’s Valentine’s Day, the time when a young girl’s heart turns to thoughts of …slashers! Besides with the deeply awesome sci-fi horror cult hit “Supernatural” in reruns, SIGH!, we’ve got to get our ya-yas somewhere, no? Both are starring in horror pictures that will have hearts racing this weekend. Jensen is in “My Bloody Valentine” and Jared is heading back to old Camp Crystal Lake for the return to “Friday the 13th.” Which brings me back to the battle of hotties…Ackles or Padelecki? Me, I’m an Ackles girl. As muscle car-driving, classic rock-cranking bad boy Dean Winchester, he’s the total package with that cute little smirk and those eyelashes. Yummy! But this here is an interactive medium. And I understand there are some who prefer the coltish good brother Sam played by Padalecki. So, who gets your valentine? Jensen or Jared?

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow and actor Joaquin Phoenix, photo by Evan Agostini/AP, attend special screening of “Two Lovers” hosted by The Cinema Society at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema in New York, at an event that draws her mom, Blythe Danner, and other celebs Hillary Duff, Kirsten Dunst, model Helena Christensen and more.

Renee Zellweger hits the red carpet ahead of the premiere of the film “My One and Only” at the Berlin Film Festival.

Also in Berlin, a glamorous Angela Bassett arrives for the premiere of the film “Notorious.”

Meanwhile, while in New York, Phoenix, sporting sunglasses, a thick beard and some serious bedhead, also made a bizarre appearance on “The Late Show With David Letterman.’’ After a series of awkward exchanges with what appeared to be a clueless Phoenix, a fed-up Letterman quipped: “Joaquin, I’m sorry you couldn’t be here tonight.” To which Phoenix responded: “He’s funny, you’re funny, He’s a funny dude.’’

Here’s a clip of Joaquin Phoenix’s “Amy Winehouse-esque” interview with David Letterman last night. First, you’ll ask yourself, “Is this really Joaquin?” Next, you’ll wonder if this is a hoax.

(FYI: Brother-in-law Casey Affleck, is shooting a documentary about Joaquin’s transition to a career as a rapper. This movie is widely suspected to be a Borat-style mockumentary about actors and singers expanding their careers in an effort to parlay their marketability. Needless to say, it appears Joaquin’s transition from heart-throb actor to bearded-rapper goes horribly wrong. Can’t wait to see that movie.)

In the interview, Joaquin forgets the name of his “Two Lovers” (watch trailer) co-star, Gwyneth Paltrow, sticks gum under the edge of Letterman’s desk and appears to swear at bandleader Paul Shaffer for poking fun at him.

How Hip-Hop is that?!? Hoax or not, this interview will surpassFarrah Fawcett’s rambling as the weirdest moment on Letterman’s show.
